I could easily live in a 1/1 or studio if it will make me more wealthy. 

You need millions of $ or insanely wealthy backers to do something on this scale. 

I do not presume that this is ALL investors' goal, however, as many smart, reasonable, and moderately wealthy investors choose to pay down properties like this and have a stable, cash flowing asset with no debt and a ton of cash flow.

Thirty year old, you had better wake the (bleep) up and take advantage of this time in the American real estate market, because unless you have wealthy parents who are going to leave you at least $1,000,000 or more, you will work the rest of your lives and/or will be a burden on your kids and their families!  

Studies show the number one reason Americans don’t build wealth is car payments, low interest or not that’s what it says.

Unless you're his wealthy relative, it's time to move on and find a deal. 

Just let your staff (https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/t...) know you're coming so they can be sure the toilet seat is disinfected and the dog bathed.However, after you take @Jim K. amazing course, you'll quickly become super wealthy.

I would like purchase the small investment property and partner with a hard money lender, VC or a wealthy partner with good enough credit to get a loan for $1m+ for building the commercial self storage facility. 

I used a cash advance from credit cards to reinstate the loan, and used credit cards to finance the rehab.On later deals, I used a wraparound mortgage (actually an all-inclusive deed of trust) or private money from a hard money broker coupled with credit card advances, signature lines of credit, and later an equity line of credit to bridge the financing gap.All of that helped me build a track record that allowed me to do the next several hundred deals pretty much the same way: using equity raised from wealthy investors desiring passive income from alternative investments, coupled with either bank debt or private money lenders (at much better terms than when I started).Good luck!
